March 29, 2023
Austin today may represent a smaller commercial space market than Houston or Dallas-Fort Worth, but its growth prospects going forward are a big attraction for Titan Development, based in New Mexico. “You have the high-tech manufacturing, an educated workforce and a lot of tech companies, along with everyone who gives Austin that vibe that attracts talent.”
Increased commercial and industrial space is not the only reflection of fast growth in the Austin area. Health care infrastructure is expanding as well., one million square feet of additional purpose-built health care facilities are being planned, adding to the nine million square feet currently being used or leased by the sector. For-profit and non-profit clinics in the Austin area saw patient visits rise to 6.4 million, an increase of over 40 per cent from 2017 to 2022.
